Etymology
The term 'candled' originates from the root word 'candle', which has its etymology traced back to the Latin 'candela', meaning 'a light, a torch'. The use of candles dates back thousands of years, with various civilizations utilizing them for light and rituals. The specific practice of candling eggs emerged as a method to determine their viability during the incubation process. It gained prominence in the early 20th century as poultry farming became more commercialized and techniques for breeding and incubation improved. Candling allows farmers and breeders to efficiently sort and select eggs for incubation, which enhances their productivity.
